Then, all the painters in the neighbourhood were defeated by a severe disease whose characteristic was alike to that of a bad burn.An expert physician(内科医师) was instructed to attend to the victims(受害者) and handle this case. He was enthusiastic, but he didn’t foresee that it was a hard challenge. After simple enquiry(=inquiry打听,询问), he announced that the polluted paint was to blame. But without positive evidence, people suspected and rejected his view, saying the theory he put forward made no sense. Being much more strict with himself, he contributed himself to the case. Apart from making enquiries, he made detailed charts(详细的图表) and analysed the data cautiously. Finally, he drew a scientific conclusion, linking the disease to the radium(镭) in the pump. Exposed to（暴露于...） radium, a kind of radioactive(放射性的) material in the universe, people absorbed radiation and got sick immediately.Spinning(旋转) the pump backward, he took away the radium. This simple movement cured all the victims.Sightseeing in the United Kingdom观光联合王国（22）After the wedding, my cousin and his wife went to the United Kingdom for nationwide sightseeing. He faxed a letter to me in English yesterday. To my delight, he no longer made any tense error(时态错误). And his description roughly(概略地) clarified my questions about the UK---its currency(货币), its administration(管理部门；管理), the institution which divides it into four provinces, and the historical conflicts and quarrels when Southern Ireland broke away from the UK. Unwilling to leave out any attraction, my cousin arranged his enjoyable journey carefully. One attractive place he visited was a castle in the countryside of Scotland, which lies near a port(港口). It used to be the headquarters (总部) of the Communism(共产主义) Union but broke down during the war. Finding nothing could take the place of this splendid architecture, people accomplished rebuilding it in 1952. It was to their credit(功劳) that all furnished rooms are consistent with what they used to be. My cousin was thrilled by its collections consisting of statues plus royal uniforms folded in glass tanks. Though there was no possibility to buy some of these exhibits, it was convenient to take photos, which he sent me along with his fax.An Air Crash飞机失事（23）I was a previous typist in a post office. Because I couldn’t tolerate typing any more postage bills(账单) or postcodes(邮递区号) on a typewriter(打字机) every day, I resigned. With a greedy motivation of making big money, I took up working as a business representative(代表) for the G.E Ecology Company, which produced goods by recycling useful materials from our dustbins(垃圾箱). My new job left me good impressions in many aspects except that the working timetable was full of traveling by jets. Once, when speeding up, our jet was swallowed by a thunderstorm(雷暴), which destroyed our GPS receiver and made us lose sight of the directions. A constantly flashing light(闪电) showed that our jet was in danger. A steward(乘务员) instantly asked us to put on masks and fasten the safety belts, and then pressed a button to switch on the escaping capsule. It slid sideways out of the opening(口子) at once and landed in a desert area safely. Lacking food and tablets(药片), we were nervous and uncertain at first. But we all kept optimistic and made good adjustment to the situation. We swept up the surrounding mud to make our settlement and were back on our feet soon. Finally, guided by the smoke of our crashing jet, some local citizens came by carriages(马车) and saved us. An Amateur Journalist业余记者（24）Jane is a housewife, but delighted to work as an amateur journalist. It is a dilemma(窘境) for her to rush between family and work, and it is also unusual for the News Department to depend on an amateur to cover crimes. But Jane is really gifted. It is admirable(值得钦佩、赞美的) that she is seldom accused of making mistakes. And, eager to become more professional, she concentrates on her job and updates(更新) herself now and then.Once she is informed of a new case, her normal working process is as follows: first, she makes appointments with guilty people for interviews. In order to acquire accurate stories, she usually demands to record what they say. Meanwhile, a technically good colleague will assist her in taking photographs. Second, she assesses whether they are deliberately(故意地) hiding the truth. If she is skeptical about their words, she will look into the case herself. Third, she writes thorough stories ahead of the deadline and submits it to the senior chief editor, who polishes(润色) and approves every section. Finally, her stories will be published in different editions of their magazine.太原市实验中学高中英语思维导学案课题: 文章与词汇 。
